Finally! You Can Now Buy Girl Scout Cookies Online

Girl Scout cookies were already the best. And now the Samoas and Tagalongs are even better. Thanks to a new website, you don't even have to track down the local sales in your neighborhood to get your Thin Mint fix!

According to the Associated Press, the Girl Scouts of the USA is letting troops set up personalized mobile apps or websites to sell the sweet treats, instead of simply setting up shop in public places or spreading the word at parents' offices. And the best part? You can get them shipped right to you.

But there's a catch: You can only get the cookies online if your local troop decides to sell them that way. Troop leaders can choose whether or not to sell the treats digitally as well as in person. And you have to be in the know, because you can only access the cookie websites via an email invitation.

The idea behind Girl Scout cookies in the first place is to teach girls business skills, and if you make the cookies too easy to get, the scouts won't have to build relationships with buyers and learn sales techniques. The organization says the websites and apps will help the girls learn new technology skills, too. And it's expected to make the cookies even more of a booming business—scouts sell $800 million worth of the sweets every year already!
